What is Chicken Tikka Masala?
Chicken Tikka Masala is one of the world’s most-loved dishes — tender pieces of marinated chicken simmered in a rich, creamy tomato-based sauce with aromatic spices like cumin, coriander, garam masala, and turmeric.
The flavor: Warm, aromatic, and savory, with depth that comes from authentic spicing — not heat. It stays approachable for every palate while remaining true to its roots.
Perfect for: Corporate lunches, employee appreciation events, team meetings, holiday parties, and any time you want to add something memorable to your catering lineup.
Why Companies Order Tikka Masala Catering for Office Lunches
Your team has seen the same sandwich trays and pizza boxes a hundred times. Tikka Masala is the change of pace that makes people genuinely excited about the catered lunch — and you are the one who made it happen.
- It’s inclusive — a halal-friendly option means more of your team can share the same meal.
- It’s approachable — flavorful but not fiery, so even spice-shy colleagues come back for seconds.
- It’s memorable — the kind of lunch your team talks about long after the meeting ends.
- It’s chef-made — prepared fresh by a personal chef, not reheated from a warming tray.
Halal-Friendly Tikka Masala Catering
We proudly serve the Chicagoland halal community. Our Chicken Tikka Masala can be prepared with certified halal chicken upon request — just let us know when you place your order, and we’ll handle the rest.
The Tikka Masala Bar
Build-your-own bowls your team will love. Minimum 10 guests. Most clients pair it with both rice options and add naan so guests can build the bowl they want.
Chicken Tikka Masala
Tender marinated chicken pieces in our scratch-made creamy tomato masala sauce. Rich, aromatic, and authentically spiced — flavorful without overwhelming heat. Can be made halal.
Choose Your Rice
- Masala Rice — lightly spiced with aromatic seasonings; complements the sauce perfectly.
- Garlic Butter Rice — mild and buttery with roasted garlic; great for guests who prefer less spice.
Offer both so guests can choose their preference.
Upgrade: Naan Bread
Add warm, soft naan for dipping and scooping — the perfect way to soak up every bit of that creamy masala sauce.
Dietary accommodations: Vegetarian options available upon request. Halal-friendly. Let us know your guests’ needs and our chefs will tailor the menu.
Personal Chefs, Not Delivery Drivers
Most caterers reheat pre-made food and drop it off. You get lukewarm trays and hope for the best.
Frato’s is different. Every catering includes a personal chef who:
- Prepares your Tikka Masala fresh — never left sitting in a warming tray for hours.
- Handles delivery, setup, and service on-site.
- Makes sure the food comes out hot, aromatic, and restaurant-quality.
- Manages any last-minute requests or dietary questions on the spot.
That’s why clients tell us it’s the best Tikka Masala they’ve had — because it’s made by a chef who cares, not assembled in a factory.
